Bacillus cereus sensu lato s a species complex that includes the anthrax pathogen
Bacillus anthracis and other bacterial species of medical, industrial, and ecological importance. Their phenotypes of interest are typically linked to large plasmids that are closely related to the anthrax plasmids pXO1 and pXO2. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of 94 isolates of B. cereus sensu lato , which were chosen for their plasmid content and environmental origins
